Cable Ways Flashcards
How far can the traveller swing when it stops?
45°
For seating type cableways are rigid suspension elements OK?
No
If a flexible suspension element is used
how shall it be designed to prevent…..
it shall be designed to prevent risk of strangulation.
If a pulling device for the traveller is provided ….
it shall be designed to prevent risk of strangulation.
What is the distance required for cableways arranged in parallel,
2m
For hanging C/W what are some of the things too watch in regarding handles
It shall not be possible to climb on the grip.
If it doesn’t form a loop (e.g. t bar) use the ring gauge.
Max speed of a flying fox
7m/s
Is FHF measured loaded or unloaded
unloaded
Cable way - What is max FHF for sitting position and is it measured loaded or unloaded.
2m
What is the the FHF for hanging C/W and is it measured loaded or unloaded?
3m from grip
Ground clearance for seated C/W and measured with what weight.
400 measured with 130kg
Ground Clearance for for all HANGING types, except rigid types
1 500 mm minimum at the starting point (platform) — measured unloaded
2 000 mm minimum in the running position — measured loaded with 69,5 kg
GROUND CLEARANCE FOR RIGID HANGNG TYPES
2 000 mm minimum at the starting point (platform) and in the running position — measured loaded with 69,5 kg
Cable height for seated (suspension cable) min length
2.1 or 1.8 if traveller is closed (measured to the horizontal cable).
Cable height for hanging (suspension cable) min length
300mm (measured to the horizontal cable
Falling space and impact area required to the sides of a C/W
2m
C/W how far beyond the stop should free space extend
2m after the 45m compressed swing arc of the seat/hanger. Reduces to 2m overall at the end so if forms a point.
If you fall from seat/hanger onto a ramp, what is the max fall?
1m - unless impact attenuation is laid.
Test for stop - load with 130kg and pull back how many degrees?
30 deg
